If a shipping charge is listed on your invoice, Lion and Unicorn will handle packing and shipping in-house.
If a shipping charge is not listed on your invoice, the item may require third-party shipping. Please contact us and we can provide a list of recommended third-party shippers.
Please note that Lion and Unicorn does not ship all items in-house. In particular, we do not provide in-house shipping for furniture, alcohol, or items that are oversized or excessively heavy.
Items left in our warehouse for more than 30 days may be subject to storage fees, as we are unable to accommodate long-term storage.
Once payment is completed, orders enter processing. Our current processing time is up to four weeks, as our team carefully packs and ships thousands of delicate items each month.
Once your order is ready to ship, you will receive an email with a tracking number.
If you need your order sooner for a special occasion, please let us know. We are happy to accommodate when possible. Out of respect for other bidders, we ask that such requests only be made if there is a genuine need.
If Lion and Unicorn is shipping the order in-house, tracking information will be emailed to you once your package is ready to ship.
Please allow up to 24 hours for tracking information to update after you receive the tracking number.

The buyer’s premium is not reduced when bidding directly with Lion and Unicorn.
However, bidding directly through bid.lionandunicorn.com may help reduce your overall invoice total because no third-party platform processing fees apply.
Our auctions are posted across multiple platforms, and it is possible for multiple bidders to place the same high bid.
During the auction, bids are relayed to the auctioneer in real time. For items you are especially interested in, we recommend watching the auction live whenever possible.
